Coleman Ac Units

The Dometic will run on a Yamaha EF2400, which is still moveable by one person (but easier with 2 people).  Might be cheaper than 2 of the Hondas.

I'm still considering switching to the Polar Cub before our next big trip this summer.  3 1/2 weeks with the Dometic blaring overhead wasn't fun last summer.

John, I'm probably one of the few with a Polar Cub on their Pod. When we bought our 175 in 2010, it came wired for air, but with no unit. We live in Western Washington and seldom need air, so that was no problem. We're planning an extended trip next year to the S/W and East, so last year we had a Polar Cub installed.

We've had both Coleman and Dometic units in the past, and always been happier with Coleman units. The PC cools the Pod nicely, but not overly quickly. It is quieter than I remember our Dometics to have been. Our PC is not wired into the Pod thermostat. We use the ceiling control, which is no problem, as that's what we're used to. Due to the length of the PC and the Pod's roofline, make sure the PC is installed with the foam rear brace that is so common with many A/C installs.

The Polar Cub has run fine with our Yamaha EF2000IS up to now. We haven't dry camped @ much elevation or high temperatures as of yet while using the PC/Yamaha combo. I think the PC comes with a hard start capacitor already installed--I've been wrong before. In any case, the PC draws less juice that the 13.5 btu units. Up to now, we're well satisfied with the Polar Cub

FR won't add a different unit for you but you could order without an AC and then have your dealer add the coleman.
